We can’t offer visa sponsorship, but we review sponsorship role by role, so keep an eye on our careers site for future opportunities.\nAbout Kaluza\nKaluza is the Energy Intelligence Platform, turning energy complexity into seamless coordination. We help energy companies overcome today’s challenges while accelerating the shift to a clean, electrified future.\nOur platform orchestrates millions of real-time decisions across homes, devices, markets and grids. By combining predictive algorithms with human-centred design, Kaluza makes clean energy dependable, affordable and adaptive to everyday life.\nWith teams across Europe, Asia and Australia, and a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation in Japan, we power leading companies including OVO, AGL and ENGIE, as well as innovators like Volvo and Volkswagen.\nWhat you’ll do\nHands-on research\nRun mixed-methods research in a B2B2C setting, combining qualitative studies with behavioural data in Mixpanel, that sets the standard for good research and shapes team roadmaps and client conversations\nResearch the whole chain, from client teams and subject matter experts to their end customers and the developers using our SDKs and APIs, and look for patterns that hold across clients so we build once and reuse\nMake sure research has impact: track whether it changed a decision and what result followed, and use that to make the case for research investment\nResearch enablement and operations\nDemocratise research: coach and mentor colleagues in Product, Design and Engineering to run their own studies with rigour, through workshops, guidance and lightweight methods\nMake insight easy to find and trust, through our insights agents, knowledge bases and journey management artefacts, backed by data you can rely on (quality, privacy, bias), so people can find and question evidence themselves\nHelp run research operations: improve how we recruit participants (frameworks, lead times, consent and data protection), and set clear guardrails so teams run ethical, compliant research\nAssess and recommend research tools, deciding when to build and when to buy, trial them, and support procurement; use AI-assisted development such as Claude Code to build working tools where that is the right call\nWhat you’ll bring\n\nIdeally you’ll have/be\nA track record of running research end to end that other teams used in product or roadmap decisions, with strong data literacy: you combine qualitative methods with behavioural data and know what the numbers can and can’t tell us\nExperience researching in B2B or B2B2C or enterprise contexts, including technical users such as developers (eg SDKs, APIs or documentation), or a strong appetite to learn how\nExperience coaching non-researchers in research fundamentals (interviewing, bias mitigation, ethical handling of user data) so they can self-serve\nExperience on a platform or multi-client product, spotting patterns across customers, and familiarity with journey mapping or service design methods\nExperience in research operations or enablement, such as participant recruitment, consent and data governance, repositories or tool selection, with judgement on when to build and when to buy\nConfidence working with some autonomy across a distributed, international team\nWhat will set you apart \nYou’ve built a tool, repository or pipeline that measurably cut the time from research signal to team-wide insight\nYou’ve found a way to measure developer experience where there was no playbook (eg time to first successful call, or where developers drop off)\nYou’ve made the case for research with real numbers, and followed your research after the readout to see what happened\nWhere you'll work\n We offer flexible working, with an expectation of 3 days a week in the office. This gives us the best of both: real time together to collaborate and build relationships, with the flexibility to work in the way that suits you best the rest of the week.\nOur Values \nPlay to win: Collective pride in decarbonising energy at scale.\nSolve the real problem: Cutting through complexity to focus on real-world outcomes.\nBuild trust every day: Consistency, transparency and doing what we say.\nOwn the outcome: Full accountability, wins and setbacks, without ego.\nGo further together: Collaboration, respect and different perspectives.\nOur Perks\nTime off and family: 26 days’ holiday, plus 26 weeks’ full pay for new parents with no qualifying service period\nHealth and security: Private medical insurance with virtual GP, life assurance, pension scheme, free mortgage advice and eye tests\nPay and flexibility: Discretionary bonus, a Flex Fund of 5% [of salary] to spend on the benefits you want most, retail discounts through Perks at Work\nGrowth and setup: Personal learning budget, home office budget\nClimate: Furthr, our climate action app\nCome as you are\nWe want to meet people from all walks of life.
